What insurances does SABHH accept?

What Happens when I am Discharge?

One of the big mental health questions, and sometimes the scariest, is “what happens next?” When you have successfully completed your inpatient treatment, and you and your behavioral clinician agree it is time for you to move to the next step, you will be discharged.

Before leaving, you will discuss your continuum of care plan, which included recommendation for our step-down services (PHP, day treatment or IOP). Talk to your therapist about these programs as they offer additional supports as you transition back to your daily activities. If these programs are not an option or you choose not to attend one of these programs, we will assist you in finding providers in the community or refer you back to your provider.

Announcements

The Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a day treatment program that serves teens, ages 9-17 years old, who have recently been in an acute setting or those who require structured treatment and psychiatric support.
